Love it!  Thanks for sharing this.

I add the following to my BatteryStatus.glet code - to get the battery stats for my Bluetooth Keyboard (just stole your code and put in the name of the KB object):

kbatt=`ioreg -c AppleBluetoothHIDKeyboard | grep BatteryPercent | tail -1|awk '{print $10}'`;

if [ ${#kbatt} -lt 1 ]; then

echo "Bluetooth Keyboard: disconnected"

else

echo "Bluetooth Keyboard: $kbatt%"

Fan temp seems not to work under lion or do I need an extra app?

Thanks, this is really awesome. I added a tron themed dock as well as icons to this as well for added effect. I also used a gtwthr script to add to it as well.

For anyone who is interested.

Use this to hide the menu bar. Looks better,

Rather than hide the menubar, here is an app that creates a true black menu bar--look for Obsidian here:

There are plenty of resources for changing the menubar icons to white and a system clock replacement called WhiteClock (). Some of them are already included in the Obsidian package, but you can find more at: !

I just set this up and the calendar isn't showing the numbers with the days of the week correctly. I'm running 10.7.2 Any ideas?

As a thank you I'd like to share a repaired battery status geeklet, the one linked here was calculating non-sense on my Lion system. I choose to calculate 'Health' as percentage of current capacity over design capacity. There you go:

ioreg -l | grep -i capacity | tr '\n' ' | ' | awk '{print ("System Battery:",$10/$5 * 100,"%")}';

osascript -e 'set a to do shell script "ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity"' -e "set c to word 5 of a" -e "set d to word 15 of a" -e "set h to round(c*100/d)" -e '"Battery Health: " & h &" %"' | iconv -f utf-8 -t ucs-2-internal;

ioreg -w0 -l | grep "Cycle Count" | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "=" } ; {print $8}' | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "}" } ; {print $1, "Cycles"}';

tbatt=`ioreg -c BNBTrackpadDevice | grep BatteryPercent | tail -1|awk '{print $10}'`;

if [ ${#tbatt} -lt 1 ]; then

echo "Magic Trackpad: disconnected"

else

echo "Magic Trackpad Battery: $tbatt%"

fi

mbatt=`ioreg -c BNBMouseDevice | grep BatteryPercent | tail -1 | awk -F"=" {'print $2'}`;

if [ ${#mbatt} -lt 1 ]; then

echo "No Mouse Detected"

else

echo "Mouse Battery: $mbatt %"

fi

Hm, realised I don't need osascript to do the second line, and the first still had a calculational bug, I guess this info was once displayed differently by ioreg?

Here now my last version:

ioreg -l | grep -i capacity | tr '\n' ' | ' | awk '{print ("Current Charge:",int($5/$10 * 100),"%")}';

ioreg -l | grep -i capacity | tr '\n' ' | ' | awk '{print ("Battery Health:",int($10/$15 * 100),"%")}';

ioreg -w0 -l | grep "Cycle Count" | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "=" } ; {print $8}' | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "}" } ; {print $1, "Cycles"}';

tbatt=`ioreg -c BNBTrackpadDevice | grep BatteryPercent | tail -1|awk '{print $10}'`;

if [ ${#tbatt} -lt 1 ]; then

echo "Magic Trackpad: disconnected"

else

echo "Magic Trackpad Battery: $tbatt%"

fi

mbatt=`ioreg -c BNBMouseDevice | grep BatteryPercent | tail -1 | awk -F"=" {'print $2'}`;

if [ ${#mbatt} -lt 1 ]; then

echo "No Mouse Detected"

else

echo "Mouse Battery: $mbatt %"

These are fantastic but I'm noticing that the GeekTool Helper seems to take up double digit CPU and memory. Are you noticing this also and, if so, what is causing this? Does GeekTool really require that much mem and CPU or is it simply the shell command that causes that output?

Figured out how to modify the script to allow for temp in F instead of C.

- modify the letter c in the code and sub the letter f in the obvious positions. Next you need to visit the Yahoo weather page and find your local city. Find the city code number, and save this info. In the new code, replace the w= area with your own city number you looked up from Yahoo weather. For example, I live in Seattle so my Yahoo city will now become w=2490383

Nocturne and hiding the Menubar as Heatsauce pointed Us towards with a link does NOT work well together.

If I use Nocturne to darken the MenuBar and then set the Info.Plist in Finder to:

LSUIPresentationMode

4

(The above does not show up right but look in link for compleet command.)

does not work and get strange side effect, Sadly:(

Thanks for the link though, I wanted to hide the MenuBar for a long time.

Sadly it should be possible to Toggle easily and systemwide.

The tron Desktop is nice for a while but I prefer others.
